HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former AC Milan and Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni is the new head coach of the United Arab Emirates.

Zaccheroni, who won the Serie A title in 1999 with Milan and steered the Japanese to Asian Cup success in 2011 and the World Cup finals in 2014, will take over from Argentina's Edgardo Bauza, who quit last month to take charge of World Cup-bound Saudi Arabia.
